The easiest way to remember that desert is spelled with one “s” and desserts has two is that two desserts are better than one. With that in mind, order both the chocolate cream pie and the banana cream pie when you are up island and dining at the Aquinnah Shop. The chocolate cream pie is a tall, head-turning treat that is the perfect combination chocolate, whipped cream and pie crust. The crust is crispy, the chocolatey filling is rich and savory, and the cream topping is best described as ethereal. The banana cream pie is the perfect ending to a sensational summer meal. Piled generously in a flaky pie crust is a rich, creamy and flavorful banana custard. The topping is light and luscious. You are sure to go bananas over this banana cream pie. The secret ingredient in these scrumptious pies is a mother’s love. Both are home baked with much love and care by the family matriarch.
